2019 Power Wagon suspension has become “floaty”

The road I take to work is pretty bad but I suppose not worth an extra $800. The reservoirs have a significant cool factor though, much like the snorkel from AEV I want, and I will NEVER need to use the snorkel hahaha much less get anywhere near where the factory intake is.
 
I live 2 miles down a dirt road that gets washboard after just about every windstorm.
Got a place I go shooting 7 miles from me is the turn off, again down a old dirt road that gets tore up after the rain and snow.
Been off road in Baja as well. These FOX shocks worked fine, until about 35K miles, so I'm rebuilding them
 
Wondering if the original poster ever got it worked out. In reading all the responses and the known fact that FOx shocks do need rebuilding every so often I would lean towards the shocks needing a rebuild or replacement. I went with BIlstein 5160s because they do not need to be rebuilt and are about half the money of a similar Fox shock.

Any specific reason you went with the 5160 over the 5100?
The 5160 can be rebuilt, just not at home.
Any shock will not last forever and needs to be replaced or rebuilt.
If you are a bit mechanically inclined, you can rebuild the shocks. Only specific tool is a nitrogen bottle and set up to recharge them. Or find a local shop who will recharge them. Cheaper than buying new ones.
 
I tend to run a few fire roads with wash board surfaces. I have not found any fade with the 5160s but did find fade with the stock 4600s so figured the extra res. would keep them cooler and it has, plus you can get the 5160s with a specific tune for the PW.
 
Ok. The Thuren Fox are also tuned for the PW.
I live 2 miles down a dirt road that gets washboard all the time along with potholes. The Fox worked fine for about 35K miles. But I also hit other off road places
